View this email in your browser Insights, analysis and must reads from CNN's Fareed Zakaria and the Global Public Square team, compiled by Global Briefing editor Jason Miks. February 11, 2018 On Today's Show On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN: First, with the Winter Olympics having just started in South Korea, Fareed gives his Take on why, in some respects, it is the most successful country in the world.   "We are in times when Americans on both sides of the aisle are weary of engaging with the world, dubious about maintaining troops in foreign countries and convinced that foreign aid is a waste of money. Over the next few weeks, as they watch the glittering games in Pyeongchang, they might want to think about how far South Korea has come -- and take some small pride in having helped it get there," Fareed says.   Next, Fareed hosts a panel to look at the threat from north of the border – what should we make of the recent overtures from Pyongyang? Is conflict now off the table? Could talks take place between the United States and the Kim regime? Joining Fareed to discuss all this are Sue Mi Terry, a senior fellow for Korea at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and Gordon Chang, author of "Nuclear Showdown: North Korea Takes On the World."   Then: Ksenia Sobchak is a former reality TV star – and is now running for the Russian presidency. But does she really have a chance of winning? And what is motivating her run against Vladimir Putin? Fareed discusses this and more with Sobchak. Plus: Stock markets around the world fluctuated wildly this week. What's behind the dramatic moves? What's going to happen over the coming year? And what does it mean for the broader economy? Fareed is joined by Ruchir Sharma, chief global strategist at Morgan Stanley Investment Management. Also: Fareed is joined by Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani to discuss tensions with Saudi Arabia, ties with the United States under the Trump administration, and more. Watch Qatar's foreign minister discuss the 2022 World Cup And: Is Pakistan behind an uptick in violence in Afghanistan? Will a more aggressive US military strategy work?
